Yes, you do still need stamps. Basically, if you look at mail you have received, next to or on top of the postage there is a stamp indicating where the mail came from or the date it was processed. Usually this stamp comes from a machine that the mail is run through, however, if you ask to hand cancel them they will be stamped by hand and not run through a machine. People do this so as not to damage invitations that have a lot of embellishments on them. Hope this helps!

Does it cost anything more? Or do you just go in to the post office and ask for hand canceling?

It doesn't cost more but not all post offices do it. I know the one in Manhasset does it--they did it for me no prob.
